Description
This award, named in honor of surgeon-inventor Arshad Quadri and aortic surgery innovator Joseph Bavaria, is designed to advance innovation in cardiac surgery. It funds research projects that focus on basic, pre-clinical, or translational studies addressing heart failure due to heart disease, especially through the development and evaluation of novel devices. Projects may include research on heart valve device design, function, physiology, and efficacy, aiming to reduce the burden of end-stage valvular or other cardiac conditions.
